At FCA, we believe in providing children with the highest level of academic excellence in a loving, Christian environment. Our foundation is built on strong Biblical principles and all grades enjoy daily Bible lessons and weekly Chapel sessions. All of our elementary classes utilize technology in their daily lessons. The lessons are designed to encourage critical thinking and creativity. Dedicated teachers care deeply care about each of our students.

In lower elementary the focus continues to be learning to be a good reader, growing in writing skills, and developing proficiency in math. The students will also learn to be critical thinkers and problem solvers and to mature in their ability to interact positively with each other. Our goal is for them to become life-long learners who enjoy learning new things and can confidently share their knowledge with others.
